.:I'm Not Gonna Teach Him… Chapter 10… My Missing Puzzle Piece:.
A few hours later Blaine woke first this time as the sun shone through the bedroom window. He rubbed his eyes and grunted still feeling rough, but felt instantly better as he felt Kurt stir beside him, still wrapped in his arms.
"Good afternoon." Blaine whispered, voice betraying him.
"Good afternoon. I don't think I ever want to drink again…" Kurt groaned.
"That's a lie." Blaine laughed tiredly.
"Okay, well, I don't want to drink again for at least a week." Kurt rolled his eyes.
Both boys laughed as they lay together for a few moments relishing the moment. They knew they needed to talk about last night, but at this moment words and this conversation seemed unimportant, or so they wished. Kurt's mind was going a thousand miles an hour as his heart and brain battled.
"Blaine? What does last night mean to you?" Kurt turned in Blaine's arms to face the man he never stopped loving.
"Honestly?" Blaine sighed willing his heart to slow down, "Everything and more."
Kurt looked at him with hopeful eyes.
"Kurt, when I suggested that we break up years ago I was being, well, stupid. I didn't want to say goodbye to you, but I was scared that living on different sides of the country would make it too hard. I was naïve, Kurt, but damn lucky." Blaine took a moment to catch his breath. This was hard.
"What do you mean, Blaine?"
"Because a week before we broke up I made a stupid deal with myself. When everyone said that a long distance relationship will never work I made a deal with myself that if we were meant to be then fate will bring us back together, and even though I realized now that I could have lost you forever and would have been lost without you, someone was looking out for me, and brought me and my dumb self, back to you." Blaine looked into Kurt's eyes and held his face lovingly.
"Blaine, I never stopped loving you, and I was so mad at myself for not coming after you when you left. I was so angry at you for leaving, then at myself for not following you, but we both got lucky that we found each other again. I don't ever want to say goodbye to you, Blaine. I don't ever want you to say goodbye to me again." Kurt sniffled as hot tears streaked down his cheeks.
Blaine smiled and wiped them away.
"Does this mean I get another shot with you?" Blaine asked hopingly.
Kurt bit his trembling lip and nodded.
"I've felt so empty without you." Kurt whispers.
"Let's put the pieces back together then." Blaine smiles and kisses Kurt's lips gently, but passionately.
Kurt missed this feeling and never knew how he survived so long without this feeling.
"I love you, Blaine." Kurt pulled back and hugged the man.
"I love you too, Kurt. And I am so sorry." Blaine replied as a tear slid down his cheek.
They held each other, sharing lazy kisses, smiles, and laughs for an hour or so before Kurt suggested a quick shower for the both of them.

Emmet stares at his phone.
Step one is complete. I've got Blaine under my thumb, and Kurt wrapped around my finger. Now is the time for you to make your move. – Sebastian.
He typed out a quick reply.
Are you sure this is going to work Sebastian?- Emmet
It wasn't long before his phone buzzed once more.
I'm sure. I'll get Kurt to do whatever I say if it means messing things up for Frodo. When he thinks it'll be better to just leave Blaine on his own, that's when I swoop for Blaine and you get you little gay porcelain back.- Sebastian
Emmet read the message, smiling at this diabolical plan of Sebastian's. He was never of fan if his brother's friend, but he just wanted Kurt back, and Sebastian had an answer to this problem.
Okay. What do I need to do now?- Emmet
Just follow my lead. Meet me tomorrow night at Club Party- Sebastian
Emmet pocketed his phone and sighed. "I'm going to get you back, Kurt. You will be mine."
VvV
"So, what do you want to do today?" Kurt asks.
"Well, I thought maybe we could go see Jeff and Nick today?" Blaine smiles mischievously.
"You just want to tell the guys that we're back together." Kurt crossed his arms and smirked.
The boys were in the kitchen looking for something to eat. Well, Kurt was looking for something to eat while Blaine was sitting on the counter.
"Yes, but I also want to see how their trip was. Please?" Blaine pouted.
"Fine. You know I can't resist the puppy pout." Kurt sighed and kissed Blaine's nose.
Blaine wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled Kurt into him.
"God, I've missed this." Blaine breathed.
"I've missed this too." Kurt kissed him, "Now come on Mr. Anderson, we have people to come out to."
Blaine kissed Kurt's nose and smiled as Kurt pulled away and headed to the living room to put on his shoes.
"People?" Blaine asked confused.
"Well, knowing you, you already texted the whole Warbler bunch to gather for an emergency meeting." Kurt smirked as he tied his boots up.
"Me? Would I do a thing like that?" Blaine asked innocently.
"Plus, I saw the text on your phone when I was checking the time." Kurt laughed.
Blaine blushed as he sat on the couch next to Kurt, pulling on his loafers.
"You're too cute." Kurt rolled his eyes and pecked Blaine's cheek before hopping up to find his keys.
"Come on lover boy, or we'll be late." Kurt laughed.
Blaine smiled and shook his head. Kurt was too amazing. He will forever regret leaving this man, but will always be thankful that he was lucky enough to get him back. He felt undeserving, but oh so lucky. Blaine shot up from the couch and followed the retreating Kurt out of the front door and downstairs to his car.
VvV
"Sweetie?" Jeff called from the bedroom.
"Yes, Jeffie." Nick replied from the en suit bathroom.
"Blaine is calling an emergency warblers meeting in an hour."
"Is everything okay?" Nick asked peeking from the door, toothbrush in mouth.
"I guess. He didn't give any details, just said 'Emergency meeting of the Warblers at one at Nick and Jeff's.' It must be important." Jeff shrugs.
"I like how he asks if we could hold the meeting here." Nick rolls his eyes before spitting out his toothpaste and rinsing his mouth out.
"He's just lucky we love him." Jeff smiles at Nick.
"Why is that again?" Nick asks jokingly.
"Don't you remember about six years ago at a Warbler's extravaganza?" Jeff pulls the brunette to him on the bed.
"I think I need some help remembering." Nick smiles, waggling his eyebrows.
"Well, Blaine suggested spin the bottle crossover with seven minutes in heaven, I spun first and it landed on you, landing us in the closet for seven minutes." Jeff winked, pulling Nick on top of his lap.
"Oh, yeah. Whatever did we do in that closet?" Nick asks.
"Well…" Jeff smiled as he kissed Nick hard on the mouth.
"Now I remember." Nick smiled before connecting their lips once more, pushing Jeff down on his back and attacking his neck.
VvV
Phones buzzed as the Warblers got their texts and dropped what they were doing on this Saturday to go to Nick and Jeff's, all wondering what's going on for Blaine to call such a meeting.
Wes called David, Trent called Thad, and then they all conferenced each other trying to figure out what this could be about.
"Do you think Kurt and him had a fight?" Wes asked.
"No, maybe Sebastian is harassing him." Thad suggested.
"I'll kill that bastard…" Trent threatened.
"You don't think him and Kurt…" David suggested hopefully.
"Oh my god, I bet they are." Wes squealed.
"We didn't even get to go through with our mission." Thad stated sadly.
"Who cares, they're back together, and that's all that matters." Trent giggled excitedly.
"Okay. See you guys at Niff's." Wes smiled.
They all said bye and hung up excited and smiling at the hopeful upcoming news.
The hour couldn't have passed more slowly as each of them got ready and headed for Nick and Jeff's.
VvV
The whole way to Nick and Jeff's was full of stolen glances, shy smiles, and nerves. It was like high school all over again. Blaine grabbed Kurt's hand from his lap and squeezed it gently as he smiled out of the window. Kurt smiled at the action and couldn't believe this was real. It wasn't but a short time ago that he was alone, then with Emmet, then he saw Blaine unexpectedly, and now Blaine is his again. It was all surreal, but he hoped if this was a dream, that he would never wake up.
He pulled up to Nick and Jeff's apartment and recognized many of the cars already there.
"I'm so nervous." Kurt breathed as he shut off the ignition and looked at Blaine.
"Courage. It's just like when we told them in high school. You remember?" Blaine smiled.
"Yeah, we walked into a Warbler's meeting hand-in-hand, and after the many questioning looks you just stood up and asked for the floor, and when Wes gave it to you, you just blurted out that we were together." Kurt recollected.
"And…"
"And, then everyone cheered and attacked us with a group hug." Kurt smiled.
"Exactly. It'll be the same that time." Blaine reassured.
"But what if-"
"No! No what ifs from you mister. They will be just as excited that we're back together as the last time. I promise." Blaine smiled and caressed his cheek.
Kurt smiled and sighed, "Let's get this over with."
They got out of the car and made their way through the front entrance and up the elevator to their best friend's apartment. They stood in front of the door, looked at each other, smiled, and Blaine grabbed Kurt's hand before knocking on the door. Nick answered and smiled at the two before looking at their hands and smiling madly. He hugged the couple and led them inside without a word to the other Warblers. Blaine let go of Kurt's hand and pretended to be serious, clearing his throat.
"You guys are probably wondering why I asked you here." Blaine looked around as Kurt took a seat.
"Yes, Blainers, why did you call us all here?" Wes crossed his arms and smirked.
"Well, it's about Kurt too." Blaine looked at Kurt asking him to stand with him.
Everyone bit their lips in anticipation, hanging on the edge of their seats.
Blaine grabbed Kurt's hand and intertwined their fingers. Kurt blushed and ducked his head waiting for the response of the group on bated breath as Blaine announced, "Me and Kurt are back together."
Time froze for a second as the room was silent, and no one moved, for what felt like forever.
"I knew it!" Wes jumped up and hugged them.
Kurt let out a sigh of relief as each of the Warblers followed suit and jumped, cheered, and hugged them both. The room was erupted in Warbler garble as everyone celebrated.
"I'm glad to see you two back together. You without the other would be like me and Nick without one another." Jeff whispered.
"So, when's the wedding?" Thad asked.
"Slow down there cowboy, I haven't even asked Kurt out on a date." Blaine laughed.
"Oh, come on, we know you guys are meant to be. Cut the bull shit." David shouted.
"Hey now, you know I have to play a little hard to get. After all of what he put me through." Kurt winked at Blaine.
"And you're already whipped, Anderson." Wes joked.
"Proudly." Blaine stated before he kissed Kurt on the cheek.
"Come on man, we want more than a peck." Trent booed.
Kurt smiled before turning to Blaine and taking his face in his hands and kissing him hard on the mouth, swiping his tongue across his bottom lip without hesitating.
The Warblers cheered at the display as Kurt pulled away leaving Blaine breathless.
Kurt smiled at the confused and blissed look on Blaine's face as he took his seat back on the couch. Blaine sat on the couch next to Kurt and pulled him from his place to his lap as the group of friends sat, talked, laughed, and joked until the sun started setting. As the night came into place the Warblers started saying goodbye and slowly diminished until it was just Blaine, Kurt, Nick, and Jeff.
"So, when did this happen?" Jeff asked jumping onto the couch after seeing the last of the Warblers out.
"Last night." Kurt replied.
"We want details Hummelson." Jeff demanded.
"Well, Kurt came with me to my job interview and after I got the job we celebrated, got a little drunk, and bam, together." Blaine answered.
Kurt laughed. "You make it sound so trashy."
"I did not, that's just how it happened." Blaine looked at Kurt.
Kurt rolled his eyes, but the smile contradicted the action.
"We're so glad you two are back together." Nick smiled as he wrapped his arm around Jeff's shoulders.
"Me too." Kurt smiled snuggling into Blaine's side.
"Well, I hate to cut this short, but I have a surprise for Kurt." Blaine smiled.
"What surprise?" Kurt asked suspiciously.
"Well, if I told you it wouldn't be a surprise, now would it, Kurt?" Blaine asked deviously.
Kurt looked at him hesitantly.
"Just trust me. Please?" Blaine got up and held a hand out for Kurt.
Kurt took it happily and got up from the couch as well.
"Stay out of trouble you two." Nick laughed.
"Us? Trouble?" Blaine patted him on the back.
"Yes, you." Jeff laughed.
They all hugged one another before saying goodbye, and once Kurt and Blaine were out of the door Blaine pinned Kurt to the wall and kissed him as he ran his hands up down Kurt's sides. Kurt groaned into the kiss and jerked his hips forward, but it was all over before it even began. Blaine pulled off of Kurt and smiled as he jingled the keys in Kurt's lust blown face.
"Pick pocket." Kurt slapped him in the chest.
"Well, it wouldn't do much good if I told you where our surprise date is." Blaine giggled and kissed Kurt chastely on the lips.
Kurt smiled as he followed Blaine down the hall hand in hand not wanting to question this wonderful man. He trusted him wholeheartedly and felt completed once again. Blaine grabbed Kurt's hands and tugged him into the elevator snaking his hands around his waist.
"I think you're really going to like this surprise." Blaine teased.
"Can I get a hint?" Kurt asked imitating Blaine's pout.
"You really need to work on your pout." Blaine giggled.
Kurt slapped his chest playfully again and tried to pull away but smiled when Blaine pulled him in tighter.
"I'm kidding. Okay, one little hint, but that's all… It's a delicious place to eat." Blaine beamed.
"Ugh. Worst hint ever." Kurt glared at him.
"Well, now you know I'm taking you out to dinner." Blaine reasoned.
"Fine, Anderson. You win this time." Kurt huffed.
Blaine kissed him once more before the doors opened to the bottom level and they walked out to the car as Blaine got in the driver's seat and headed for The Shanty. It was small and quaint, but had the best food, dancing, and the best part, his brother Cooper.
VvV
Everything is set for this evening squirt. Can't wait to see little Kurtie again.- Coop
Awesome. Thanks bro. We'll be there after we get through with the Warblers bunch. I hope I can keep this a surprise.- Blaine
*rolls eyes* Whipped- Coop
Everyone is saying that…- Blaine
Because you are, bro- Coop
Whatever. I don't care as long as I have Kurt everything is perfect.-Blaine
*pukes* You two give me cavities. Lol.- Coop
See you soon, Coop- Blaine
See ya little bro- Coop
Blaine set everything up this morning after the Warblers he texted his brother for this date. He just hoped Kurt would like it.
VvV
Blaine is holding Kurt's hand and stealing glances at the man who is staring out of the window trying to figure out where Blaine is headed, but without any luck. He was lost. Blaine turned onto a back street into a ghost neighborhood.
"Blaine, are you kidnapping me?"
"No, I just have a special place that I want to take you and you can't guess before we get there so we're going the back way." Blaine explained.
"We're going to get car jacked." Kurt decided.
"We are not going to get car jacked." Blaine scoffed.
"Or worst, we're going to die." Kurt threw his hand in the air.
"We're not going to die. Relax, Kurt. We're here." Blaine laughed as he parked the car in front of The Shanty.
"Really, Blaine. You're taking me on a date to your brother's restaurant?" Kurt eyed him.
"Come on. You know you love it." Blaine smiled as he got out of the car and went to open the door for Kurt.
Kurt took Blaine's hand and followed him into the shack. The place was busy with people sitting, talking, laughing, eating, and dancing. He had to admit that he missed this place. He and Blaine would come and visit Cooper over the summer after he moved to New York and bought a restaurant. Since he and Blaine were apart Kurt would still come in and visit with Cooper feeling a little at home in his presence. He smiled as he felt Cooper scoop him up and spin him around.
"Kurtie!" Cooper yelled.
"Put me down Coop." Kurt laughed.
"Don't damage him, Coop." Blaine protested.
"Ah, come here little bro." Cooper put Kurt down and did the same with Blaine.
"Cooper!" Blaine chastised.
They all laughed as Cooper put Blaine down and led them to a reserved table.
"The best table in the house for the cutest couple." Cooper smiled goofily.
"Thanks Coop. I owe you one."
"It's more like a thousand and one, but who's counting?" Cooper joked with Blaine.
Kurt laughed at the exchanged, but hid behind the menu. Blaine hit his arm playfully. And Kurt smacked him back with the menu.
"Okay you guys. I'm leaving before it gets too fluffy over here." Cooper laughed.
Blaine took the menu from Kurt's hand and smiled turning the light mood a little more sensual and serious.
"Kurt, I wanted to do things right as we start over." Blaine looked down at the table suddenly nervous.
"I agree, Blaine. We should start things right." Kurt agreed, "Will you be my boyfriend?" Kurt smiled.
"You totally stole my line!" Blaine looked up with a playful glare.
"You were taking too long." Kurt smiled.
Blaine leaned over and kissed Kurt as he too leaned over the table to meet Blaine in the middle. The kiss was sweet and languid making the other go weak in the knees.
"I would love too." Blaine answered with a smile.
Kurt smiled back as they sat down, still holding hands, as the waiter approached.
Blaine ordered for them: Two glasses of wine with two orders of the chicken and asparagus plate. It was their favorite of Cooper's.
Kurt smiled as he handed the menu to the waiter.
"You still remember my order?" Kurt asked truly shocked.
"I remember everything. I haven't forgotten one thing that I learned about you, Kurt."
Kurt blushed and Blaine smiled at his adorable-ness. It was silent between the two as they held the other's hand, stared into each other's eyes, and waited for their order. It was perfect and wonderful.
It was only the start of the evening, but neither expected what would happen next.
